The business and its data inventory

Its inventory brought together Google Workspace, Slack, and QuickBooks with warehouse and transportation management systems. These sources covered day-to-day business communication, shipping documents, operational workflows, and accounting.

The inventory covered the categories below. It described available sources for assessment; it does not establish that every listed source was included in the final license.

  • Google Workspace: business email, bills of lading, and operational workflows.
  • Slack: internal workplace messages.
  • QuickBooks: accounting records.
  • Warehouse and transportation operations: systems identified as potential sources, with the detailed contents still to be assessed.

The confirmed outcome

Red Deer Data confirmed a $350,000 payout for the completed deal. This is one business’s outcome, not an estimate of what another company’s data will earn.

A specific bid depends on the proposed records and licensing terms. Read what shapes a business data licensing bid before comparing a deal amount with your own inventory.

What another business owner can take from this case

Start by describing the tools you already use and the work their records explain. Logistics records can span an order system, a warehouse, transport coordination, email, and documents; a useful inventory makes those sources understandable to someone outside the business.

For each source, record its purpose, the approximate history available, and who can answer questions about it. Mark gaps and unknowns clearly. An inventory is the starting point for a discussion, not an instruction to export everything.

Our business-owner guide includes an illustrative inventory you can use to organize that first conversation. No data upload is needed to request a bid.
